Funky concept, but actually pretty cool
on July 15, 2017
Posted by: jago
A wearable bluetooth speaker that sits around your neck seems like a funky concept to me, but it actually is pretty cool. I am very impressed with the sound quality of the external speakers and also with the ear buds. LG has nailed getting the stereo effect with the external speakers. They aren't very loud, but they do sound really good. I was able to sync it with my phone very easily. Phone calls sounded clear and the other person heard me just fine as well. I also have an LG WebOS TV and I was able to connect these to my TV via Bluetooth and use them as speakers, which is a nice feature to have when my wife is trying to do some homework and I want to watch TV...now I can without the sound disturbing her (LG says the TV has to be a 2015 or later model). I am hopeful that the battery will last a while, so far I have used them for about 6 hours and its still good on charge. The retraction mechanism for the ear buds seems like it might be the first thing that would end up breaking on them so be sure to be careful as you pull them all the way out to retract them, other than that, the build quality is really good. I look forward to using these as my daily headset when I am out and about or when I am doing some chores around the house.

Not a fan of the sound quality or fit
on July 4, 2017
Posted by: jago
I have used many BT headphones in my days and this is one that falls short on many aspects that I find necessary for me to enjoy using BT headsets. First, the fit. All of my opinions are totally subjective and you may or may not have the same conclusions that I did. Trying to put these on was a bit of a hassle at first and even after about a dozen attempts, they still did not feel natural in the way you have to put them on. I honestly struggled with the memory formed wire that is supposed to loop around the top of your ear to help hold them in place. Wearing them with glasses or sun glasses only made it worse. I was not able to find a suitable ear piece that would fit comfortably in my ear, despite them including a bunch of different shapes (mini to large and deep to shallow). I am sure that would benefit a lot of people out there, just not me. Sound quality lacked big time in my opinion. I do like a lot of bass or at least some bass, and these units simply did not have any. Now, that could be resolved if I had a set of ear pieces that actually fit my ears, but I tried to hold them in with my hands to test the sound and was still unable to enjoy the quality. The reception on these things are awesome though. They have included a BT antenna in the wire so you can get a better reception and I had no issues with that. Battery life was the best that I have ever seen as well, I estimate I got about 10 hours of playtime. They put a small battery in each ear piece which helps that out a lot...it also balances out the ear pieces quite nicely. I just wish they fit!! Pairing with my phone was a breeze and the lady's voice is pleasant. :) I hope they come out with a version with better ear pieces that I can actually use at some point.

Ensure maximum comfort from this Logitech mouse. The precise ergonomic design ensures you stay comfortable throughout the day even if you're a power user, and the additional side button lets you create a custom setup. Smooth gliding is assured from this Logitech mouse thanks to the low-resistance base that slips over any surface.

well shaped mouse with neat features
on July 1, 2017
Posted by: jago
I was excited to try this new Logitech MX Master 2S mouse. I had heard some good things about it and I wanted to see what all the excitement was about. The shape is very comfortable in your hand and it has a pretty good weight to it. It doesn't feel cheap and the weight makes it feel substantial. I love the internal battery so now I don't have to search for replacement batteries for my mouse anymore. They claim that the battery will last 70 days on a full charge, but obviously I have not had it that long to fully test that part out. It has what they call "darkfield" tracking and it works pretty good. I generally use a mouse pad, but I have tried it out on my glass table and white tile surfaces in my house and it works well. I have two laptops connected to it now (mouse supports 3 total), one with the included receiver and the other via BlueTooth. If you install the logitech flow software you can then copy and paste files, pictures, and images between computers by simply moving the mouse over to it. Let me explain that part though....I have my two laptops sitting next to each other and both have the flow control software. They are both on the same wifi network as well. I can simply move the mouse all the way to the right on my 1st laptop and the mouse will magically move to the 2nd computer and start controlling that, if I need to control computer 1 again I just move the mouse all the way to the left and I am good to go. This allows you to copy and paste any files from one system to the other by simply selecting the file to copy and then move the mouse to the other computer and paste it there. Over all I am very impressed with this mouse so far and the amount of buttons on it is great, it even has a battery indicator so you know if you need to charge up again.

Loud sound but a little distortion...
on June 23, 2017
Posted by: jago
Overall I am very happy with this speaker. It's pretty big and looks really cool. I was considering some rock shaped speakers for my
back yard, but this is a great alternative. I have a fairly large back yard and the Nyne X series does a pretty good job of providing ample sound. I did notice some distortion above the 75% volume level though..mostly the bass sounded that way. BT pairing was very easy and being able to use NFC to pair is a nice feature. They advertise 100ft BT range but I was only able to move about 15 feet away from my speaker before it would cut out intermittently...something a firmware update might fix later on down the road, but I am not sure. I also tried this in my work van...full size Chevy express and it fits perfectly between the seats and sounds much better than the stock radio lol. The battery did last over two days and I am happy about that. There are probably better speakers out there if you are an audiophile, but for the everyday rugged family it works great.

Love the sound of fresh coffee
on June 13, 2017
Posted by: jago
I do love the sound of fresh coffee beans being ground up, but even better than that is the taste of fresh coffee grounds. I never realized before what a difference that would make in my morning coffee. I did have a little grinder before this, but it didn't hold very much and was a pain to use and clean up....oh and the mess it would make. Needless to say, that old unit is being recycled now. The DeLonghi - Dedica 14-Cup Coffee Grinder is my new favorite thing. It holds a good amount of beans, just keep the container attached or the beans will spill out of the bottom, and it's very easy to adjust the amount you want (in cups), the flavor you want (espresso, French press, etc), and the size of the grounds. The digital display is a wonderful thing to have although I would have preferred a different type of screen, but your eyes might be able to see it better than mine do. It also makes a fair amount of noise so just keep that in mind as well. The build quality seems very good and it fits in well with my other kitchen appliances. You really can't go wrong with this grinder especially if you love fresh coffee. I won't be grinding the whole bag at the store anymore now that I have the DeLonghi - Dedica 14-Cup Coffee Grinder!

a lot of sound in this little package
on June 3, 2017
Posted by: jago
I couldn't wait to try out this sound bar in my master bedroom. I have it paired up with a 40" TV and my room is 20' x 18'. You get everything you need to get started, but the included cables are not of the highest quality, but it really is a very nice addition. You get a HDMI, digital optical audio cable, and a regular audio cable in case you need them. The remote also comes with batteries so you are good to go right from the start. The build quality seems very good on these units. The main unit is small, but has some weight to it and it puts out very good sound for its size. Highs sound great and the lows sound great as well with the wireless sub woofer. I didn't really notice mids that much, but I didn't miss it either. I am not an audiophile, so someone who is might have more to say about the specifics of the sound quality. I do enjoy the sound it puts out and it fills my master bedroom just fine. The remote is a little funky to use at first, but you can control the lows, highs and total volume with three different rows of buttons on it. Night mode works very well and it really comes in handy when I want to watch a movie after I put the little ones to bed, it will quickly turn down the bass for me. It has google cast built it and that is a very nice feature that works very well. I have also connected the speaker up to my Amazon dot for streaming music. The price and size are just right for someone looking for a speaker solution with a small footprint and big sound.

Nice sound, form factor, and features
on May 16, 2017
Posted by: jago
I was very impressed with this little speakers ability to fill up a good sized room. My kitchen area is about 450 square feet and this thing rocks it. I have it paired with my galaxy s7 edge, but sadly it will not provide a charge as advertised via either of the USB type A slots. I also tried my other phones with no luck. I also was able to pair it up with my echo dot and use it as an external speaker and it works well. However, if you have Google home, you cannot connect....yet. I am sure it will just be a matter of time until Google turns on that feature. Overall I am very happy with this speaker. Battery life has been great, I estimate about 10 hours of jamming to my favorite music. I haven't had the nerve to test out the waterproofing yet but it seems very well built and that should not be a problem. The handy little storage area is neat, but don't expect to fit more than a few credit cards in there.

Looking 4 a clean cut, you might look elsewhere
on May 12, 2017
Posted by: jago
Ok, by my title, it seems that this shaver is all bad, but it really isn't. I think shaving a personal and individual thing. One man's shaver may be the greatest thing for him, but another man's shave just won't suffice. I have always preferred the rotary blades when it comes to shaving and I have never tried the type that this one is with the holes in the foils. I did a few tests, first I used it for a few days with just one day of stubble, then I let my stubble grow out for a few days and tried again. It worked pretty well when you shave on a daily basis, but if you let it grow out to about 3mm or so, I noticed that it had some trouble cutting all the hair and I would be left with some random hairs everywhere. Trying to go back and redo those areas we still a chore to do and I was not very successful with using this razor that way. Battery life so far has been great, I have shaved with it about 5 or 6 times and each time was for about 3 minutes. I can't tell when it will die, but so far it is still going strong. I do have one strong complaint though...the charger is strange to use. I do like that you don't have a cord to untangle or lose, but at the same time I am unable to open my vanity mirror when it is plugged on. See attached pic. Your mileage may vary though if your outlet is positioned in a different spot. The included accessories is minimal and all you get is the shaver, plastic protection cover, and a charger/base. Because of the downfalls that I have experienced, I cannot recommend this to a friend.

6 antenna to really power you up
on May 8, 2017
Posted by: jago
Routers these days are really starting to look like bugs and this one especially. The 6 antenna are a sign that this router means business and boy does it deliver. Network speeds were blazing fast and I noticed almost zero lag. The only slow down I noticed was when I was streaming Netflix, Hulu, and amazon all to three separate wireless devices and two additional streams of Netflix and Hulu to two wired smart TVs. Way more than nearly anyone out there besides a frat house would be using, so the normal user may not ever get to experience lag with this router. There are 4 additional Ethernet ports on the back along with two USB 3.0 ports. Coverage area is really good in my two story, 2400 sq foot home. Setting up the router using the Linksys app was simple and strait forward and it has nearly every feature that you would need, maybe not as advanced as a browser interface would be, but pretty good non the less. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with this purchase.

Small, light, portable, and convenient
on April 22, 2017
Posted by: jago
This is a very neat little speaker. I used it for a few bike rides around my neighborhood and it sounded petty good. I think if you used it out in the woods or on a hiking trail you might hear it better, but the cars whizzing past did hinder the sound. It would be great for annoying people at the mall though as you walk around the stores. P.s. Don't do that! The USB type A connector that is built in is great, you don't have to worry about losing the cable or even having to carry one. I found the battery life to be pretty good and it easily made it through my day. I used it on my work desk connected to my BT adapter in my computer and steamed my Pandora all day. My co-workers were impressed with the sound as well. I think a few of them are going to pick one up. Also, it works as a speaker phone as well using your phone.

How is the mic monitoring? Is it loud enough? The gen 1’s had pretty quiet mic monitoring, did they improve upon that or is it the same?
the mic monitoring seems very sensitive and you can adjust it with a separate volume. You can crank it down to pretty loud.

Power disturbances can cause equipment damage and lessen your electronic devices lifespan.During power disturbances, you also risk losing connection to your critical devices. Ensure you keep connected to what matters the most with APC Back-UPS.
What replacement battery does the UPS take?
the battery is non-user replaceable. I am sure you can crack it open and replace it, but its not like the old units that had a removable cover to replace the battery.
